On the morning of October 7, 2022, 32-year-old Ashley Martinez was found unresponsive in the front yard of a home in the 6700 block of South Benton Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, after police responded to a report of an armed person shortly after 2 a.m. A man identified as 36-year-old Donald Owens was found dead inside the screened-in front porch; both had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators focused on a man who had been staying at the residence with his partner and two children since August. David G. McKenzie, 38, was reported to have argued with Owens that night about unpaid rent; witnesses said the confrontation moved outside and Martinez followed, then four to five gunshots were heard. McKenzie was seen leaving in a pickup truck, and paperwork with his name was found at the scene. He was later located during a traffic stop on Interstate 70 and taken into custody for questioning; he was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. During an interview he appeared visibly upset and asked why he would harm someone who had taken him in.

What details can anyone with information about that night or these individuals add to help clarify what happened?
